    Caesar salad
    Patricia C.

    My family of 4 with 2 kids went to Silver Diner 3 times within the span of 3 days. We flew into Dulles late so Silver Diner was a great option to dine in somewhere. It far exceeded my expectations as I expected it to be on par with Dennys. It is an elevated Diner experience with large, clean booths in great condition, consistently friendly service across our 3 visits with Will, Saul, and Isu, and high quality food. Each time we were seated right away. They were on top of refills and service was efficient and quick. There is a kids menu (with activities and crayons) but we ended up ordering from the adult menu each time. The kids enjoyed the burgers and fries (good texture!) and my husband enjoyed the flat iron steak and eggs all perfectly cooked to order. I had a chicken pot pie that was awesome. The chicken chunks were large and fresh and the overall dish was quite flavorful. I also had the Western omelet that was delicious. I brought my mom once and tried part of her Belgian waffle and it was yummy. I also had the shrimp pasta dish. That one I liked least - it was just ok to me. I will definitely be back next time I am in the Reston area.

    Hot Fudge Sundae
    Marianna F.

    I have eaten here over the years. I like that they strive to make everything as fresh and healthy as possible. Our server, Gladys was very friendly and funny! Today I had the Triple Decker Club sandwich. It came with cole slaw and fries. The club was served on sour dough toast. The sour dough was chewy otherwise the sandwich was just okay. The slaw was lightly dressed. It had a nice mix of veggies in it including corn. I finished with a small hot fudge sundae with whipped cream, a cherry and walnuts. It was a perfect amount.

    I've been to this location several times today. I had the California omelette on my last visit. I had the Power omelette. Both are excellent. The prices are decent. The only thing I don't like is the music in the jukebox are too loud. Today's service is excellent and the food is truly outstanding. Both of the omelett who es I mentioned are made with egg whites the healthiest they have in the menu. Our server was Zay, extremely professional, efficient and courteous!

    New! Creekstone Smash Burger

    Amazing like always. Food came out really quick and the tables were all nicely organized. Definitely my favorite Silver Diner. We were greeted by an amazing host and the server was so sweet. 10/10 like always.

    Kids chicken strips
    AJ A.

    We are regular at this locations and everything tastes amazing. They are always adding new menu items. We tried the sampler this time and it was very good. The wings, fried shrimp and egg rolls were all very tasty. I tried the smash burger and it was very good but I do like the regular hickory bbq burger better. The triple pickle chicken sandwich was delicious as always. Also the steak and mashed potatoes was also really good. Overall excellent visit with great service with Rubia.

For example, yesterday, I had their Peter's Special, a sandwich made from 1/2 lb of pastrami and 1/2 lb of corned beef. Except that it's not "a" sandwich, but three, all on delicious rye bread, each with its own pickle, and a small helping of slaw, sauerkraut, and a major pile of salad. It was my lunch yesterday; the remaining two sandwiches are my lunch today and tomorrow. That's three meals for $30, which, to me, is a reasonable price. The problem was that the more they do to create the food, the less flavorful it is. For example, on another recent visit, I had their Country Style Omelet. Again, it was huge and contained everything that goes into a great omelet. Except, there wasn't a lot of flavor. And that seems to be the theme. I grabbed a slice of their 24-layer cake and, again, big but not much taste beyond sweetness. If you crave a lot of food, then this might be the spot for you. However, if you prefer less and more, smaller portions with better, more nuanced flavor, then maybe try one of the other nearby restaurants.

I ordered the 8 oz. Angus Country Fried Steak Combo, which came with home fries, two eggs, and a biscuit. Everything was fantastic. The country fried steak was huge, and the biscuit was light, fluffy, and perfect for soaking up my over-medium eggs. My wife went with the Kashmir's Sterling Combo, which included golden-brown French toast, two eggs, hash browns, and bacon. The hash browns and bacon were both perfectly crispy. Jennifer was our server, and she was incredibly friendly. We hadn't visited in a while, and she filled us in on all the improvements since a car crashed into the building back in May 2025. The renovations look great--the new flooring brightens up the dining room, and relocating the check-in counter has made the space feel much more open. We arrived around 10 a.m. on a Wednesday, and it was pleasantly quiet. By 11 a.m., the place was filling up quickly, so our timing couldn't have been better. The bathrooms are a bit cramped but were clean and well maintained. There's also a second dining area with additional tables and booths if the main room gets busy. Just note that there are two entrances on opposite sides of the building, but you'll still need to check in at the host stand to be seated. Overall, Virginia Kitchen consistently delivers good food, friendly service, and excellent value. It'll continue to be one of our favorite breakfast spots in Herndon.

I wish they were more crispy. The juice was very sweet rather than freshly wheezed or higher quality refrigerated fresh juice. The coffee was bitter and watery. Instead of taking leftovers home, I left half of my food on the plate. When I requested a check, the waiter called me to the counter to pay ~$24. When I go out to a sit-down restaurant, I want them to give me something better than I can make myself at home. I am glad that I did not bring my family here.

The bright spot was our pleasant and knowledgeable waitress! I ordered the fish and chips - now I know that the Silver Diner is not a seafood restaurant, but the reality in my opinion is that fish and chips is an easy dish to make. I have enjoyed fish and chips at more restaurants than I can count, including some of the world's finest seafood on a recent trip to Iceland. My fish at the Silver Diner had the thickest and most dense breading that I have ever had! It was terrible to me. There was nothing about the breading that was light - it was way too thick, too glutinous, and the fish was substantially overcooked to the point of being dry. The fish and chips were served with a cup of chicken soup which was mediocre at best - under seasoned. We did start dinner with an appetizer of fried shrimp seasoned with a bit of Old Bay. It actually tasted very good but again the shrimp were very sadly overcooked which made them tough and chewy. So the food is definitely not for me, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with a discerning taste. I also consider the food here very expensive relative to some other nearby restaurants that provide some truly great food at a much better price point.
